Aug is better for me, But if there is going to be One in June 2008 I will try and make it but I know this is only a Poll for now.

Gonna start making calls this week!
It looks like the last week of July will work best. The first week in august in Missouri is tax-free school supply shopping. Bonnie was in Branson last week and it was a madhouse!

BTW, if you check most polls, or even threads, you'll see that only about 10% posts to views. Just the way it goes.
Thanks for the input, it looks like later in the summer works for most. I don't want to get to much later because then we have to deal with school districts that start early.

So how about it......July 23-27, 2008?

 

Hey Mike, just let me know what I can do to help.

Curtis

 

I will.

I have a contact at Dick Clark's 50's Theater. I'm going to see if they'd want to host the event and what other help they can offer, then I'll contact the convention bureau.

Once we get a firm date, then the hard work starts. We'll need lots of help but I think we can pull this off.

 

Sorry Mike, I said probably not only because I am in So Cal, But I could use some of that old BBQ! Todd (Uma)

 

Todd; if it gets you to join us I will personally gaurantee you the best BBQ this side of the Missouri River!

 

July sounds much better. I also got a "definate maybe" from my wife. Branson has always been a place she has wanted to go to.

 

That's always the best place to start as well as the most informative. According to the Branson Chamber of Commerce website there are no events yet planned for July 1 - Aug 1, 2008. I find that a little hard to believe but maybe. Here is the link for chamber of commerce Branson Chamber of Commerce which includes a nifty area to plan a group trip/meeting

 

If they offer this promo in 2008 it may help with some coming from further distances:

That's some good info Hillsdale...hopefully they will do that next summer. I know I can come up with $40 worth of receipts traveling from Denver.
